So. I'm back. Sorry if I've been MIA for two weeks, guess I'm still in vacation mode. :P I spent four days in Cebu before flying to Singapore with my sister and her family. So yay, I'm back in SG! I swear I've been wanting to write something here for days  I just get lazy when I'm about to do it. Anyway, I'll be try my best to update as regularly as I can. No promises, though.

For today's post, I'll be sharing a gift haul, aka my sister's Christmas gift. I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED OMG. More stuff to play with!! Seriously, I die.

Let's start things off with some lippies, shall we? I have two Maybelline Color Sensational lipsticks, 435 Plum Perfect and 645 Red Revival. Both are reds, but Plum Perfect has a purple undertone and is deeper than Red Revival which is such a lovely true red shade. The third lippie I have is R512 Berry Allure, part of the L'Oreal Color Riche line. Mine's a Pearl finish and I believe it also has a matte version. Again, Berry Allure is a red-based lipstick, I dunno what's gotten into me, but I'm totally digging deep reds!

I also got new nail polishes! I already have the NARS Pierre Hardy Sharplines nail polish duo and now I have Vertebra! Vertebra is the complete opposite of Sharplines: it's lighter and definitely gives subtle pop of color on the nails. Not gonna lie, I'm so excited to wear Vertebra Right! Such a gorgeous brown shade.

One hair product I got is the L'Oreal EverCreme Deep Nourishing Mask. Hell yes, I need this, thankyouverymuch. The mask is sulfate-free and it smells like yummy pastry cream filling. :)) Nourish my hair back to life, will you?

Okay, so this is probably the most exciting bit in this post. Eyeshadows. Hellzzzz Yezzz. I got a single pan shadow, the NARS Cinematic Eyeshadow in Cambodia, pasrt of the Guy Bourdin collection. I know people either loved, hated, or ditched this collection but my sister and I both liked this collection and its concept. My sister actually has the blush palette which is amazeballs. I have Cambodia, a shimmery copper-red. What the hell is going on with me and anything red??? Anyway, it's a gorgeous color and I can't wait to try it out. Lastly, the highlight of this haul: the Stila In The Know palette. HOLY COW. I can't believe I have this palette. An all matte palette. It's just one of those palettes I know I'll use for almost everything. The shade that drew me in was Fire, a gorgeous matte brick shade. I'm also digging Clay and Rain. Ugh, have to use this palette ASAP!

Such pretty little things...do I really have to open them?? Kidding. But for real though....

When I got myself a bottle of cleansing water, it was because I was on a makeup remover high. I didn't know anything about it and I definitely wasn't aware that it's a current hype in the beauty world. If you're expecting something known and pricey, read something else. But if you're someone who likes try the new hype without breaking the bank, then keep reading.

Hey you, hope you had a wonderful weekend! The last few days were holy for me hence the lack of posts last week but don't worry, everything's back to normal now. Today's a bit different for an EOTD post; as you can see from the title, I've got three looks for you, all involving one particular shadow.
